    Here the shoe city of Pirmasens comes to life again.

    What would the (former) shoe town of Pirmasens be without the shoemaker Jean Joss? After his training as a shoemaker, which he completed in Paris, he settled in Pirmasens and laid the foundation for the local shoe industry. He is said to have sent his wife to sell shoes in the Prussian Rhine province at the beginning of the 19th century. When other shoemakers from Pirmasens saw how much money the Joss couple had made with this trade, they too began to do the same. And so began the rise of the "shoe city" - at least that's the legend.
